Real Estate

So we’re keeping our fingers crossed for the Lefferts Garden apartment. We’ve turned in all of our paperwork (is it just a NYC thing or do people in other cities need to provide their last six to nine months of financial history as well as the W2s and tax returns of the past couple of years) and we’ll probably hear around Tuesday.

That means that we’ll find out on the 15th of April about whether or not we’re going to be moving in on May 1st.

Real estate moves so quickly in this City.

Whenever I talk to my mother and sister who live in Raleigh they talk about taking their time and looking for an apartment and then (AFTER) finding a place giving notice to their current landlords. They can search for months. There's no urgency.

This city is all about urgency. You get (at most) 30 days to make the change happen and that is WHAT. If you see an apartment that you like on Monday chances are by Tuesday it'll be gone so one rarely even has a chance to sleep it.
This is, after all The City that Never Sleeps.
